Time to Roll for Gacha
"I understand, so the conclusion is..."
After a moment of contemplation, Daybit and the phantom of the Dark Star behind him both nodded.
Then they stood up and conveyed the final result through Daybit.
"We agree to this request."
They gave this answer.
They can help if humanity agrees to dismantle Chaldeas and avoid continuing to curse the universe.
Daybit dislikes fighting, and he also remembers his father's teachings to be a righteous person, which is why he resolutely plans to blow up this planet.
But now that the dispute can be ended in this way, why wouldn't he be happy to do so?
The same applies to life forms on the Dark Star.
In the universe, unless a race is particularly bloodthirsty, no one wants to start a war, and few life forms enjoy pointless conflicts.
Especially considering that a higher-dimensional being is already on Earth, even this arrival is nothing more than a struggle for their future survival.
It's important to understand that there are administrators, Outer God, Ultra Indigenous beings (UOs), and the will of the universe in this universe. If things go too recklessly, it could very well lead to annihilation. Therefore, compared to instigating war, destroying the universe, and wiping out civilizations, Roman's request to convey a message and offer protection is not excessive.
And this is the answer I received.
Dr. Roman had been tense all along, finally showed a somewhat tired smile, and then reached out to shake hands with Daybit, signaling the short-term end of this turmoil.
The life forms of the Dark Star do not like these convoluted rules of humanity, nor are they worried about humanity breaking them, because this time the witness is also an Outer God, Rovey.
Therefore, signing a treaty is not an option.
After they simply expressed their thoughts to Rovey and received his affirmation, the life form from Dark Star departed with complete peace of mind.
They were to keep their promise and send a message to other alien civilizations that were preparing to rush to Earth, to stop their attack on Earth.
Daybit, on the other hand, was to stay here and oversee humanity's dismantling of Chaldeas, thus ending this farce.
"Phew, it's finally over..."
Seeing that the life forms from the Dark Star had finally left, the chubby director, who had been on edge the whole time, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, compared to his relaxed demeanor, Dr. Roman's expression remained somber.
"Is it over...?"
He shook his head helplessly.
Compared to the overweight director, whose Magecraft skills were limited and who couldn't comprehend the matters being adjudicated, he clearly knew much more.
The universe is indeed safe, but what will happen to humanity next is uncertain.
A world ruled by judgment...
Losing the future.
The thought of what might happen made him feel a pang of pain.
But most of the time, there is still nothing that can be done.
After all, although it's something I'm reluctant to accept, it's indeed the best outcome.
Moreover, this is a choice made actively by humans.
Compared to dragging the universe down with them, ultimately dying under the siege of countless civilizations, turning into cosmic dust as the most despicable race in the universe, this is already a kind of dignity.
All they can do now is try to correct history as much as possible to avoid being judged.
However, just as Dr. Roman was sighing and worrying about the future of humanity, a hand quietly landed on his shoulder, and a voice asked:
Are you worried about the future of this world?
"Ah..."
Roman turned around and saw that it was Rovey's hand.
Hearing his words, Dr. Roman nodded, then replied helplessly, "Yes, after all that has happened, no one can guarantee the future of this world now. Even Goetia's Clairvoyance probably can't predict it at all."
As he spoke, he sat down in the chair and sighed.
"A few days ago, I consulted every Servant with intelligent Noble Phantasm or Clairvoyance, but I couldn't get a definite answer from any of them. The future of this world is now completely Schrödinger's cat situation; no one can say for sure, and that's why I'm so worried."
It can be painful to hear bad news from the start.
But sometimes, it's the inability to distinguish between good and bad news, and the constant anxiety, that's more painful than receiving bad news right away. Dr. Roman is in that state right now.
The future was utterly bleak for him.
No one knows whether an accident or tomorrow will come first.
Meanwhile, Dr. Roman has recently been having nightmares about humanity being judged by the world after the dismantling of Chaldeas whenever he closes his eyes, which has made him feel listless and even worsened his dark circles.
Seeing his state, Rovey gently shook his head, then reached out and patted Roman on the shoulder, earnestly comforting him, "There's really no need to worry so much. Don't forget what I said before, no matter what you choose, I'll have your back."
"Thank you so much for comforting me. I know you just wanted to make me feel better, but how could I not worry about something like this?"
Dr. Roman shook his head, clearly taking Rovey's words as a simple consolation and not taking them too seriously.
"I'm serious."
However, the next moment, Rovey's tone changed, becoming extremely formal.
"What?"
Dr. Roman looked puzzled.
Rovey simply replied, "I said I would cover for you, and I meant it. I'm satisfied with the choice you made this time. It seems that we don't need to resort to such an extreme method as the first one. It's simpler to just ensure that one World Line isn't ruled out."
"Huh? Ah...? What do you mean by that?"
Sensing the hidden meaning in Rovey's words, Dr. Roman's expression quickly turned strange as well.
"The meaning is actually quite simple: your World Line has been moved from the Akashic Records of Human Order to an independent tree, and it won't be easily cut off. The future still belongs to you, but it will become an independent World Line. How it develops is up to you."
Rovey spoke with extreme calmness.
He then patted Roman on the shoulder and spoke wearily:
"Here's a hint: I was away for seven days this time. Can you guess what seven days corresponds to?"
Seven days?
"... Seven? Could it be?!"
Upon hearing this, Dr. Roman remained silent for a moment, then began to think seriously.
But he quickly realized a possibility.
He stared wide-eyed at Rovey, who responded with a polite smile.
"Alright, since you've guessed it, don't say it aloud. Just keep it to yourself. In short, all the problems in this world and the universe have been solved. Except for the series of unequal treaties I signed with that insidious guy, everything's fine."
Rovey then offered an explanation, before gesturing to Dr. Roman not to overthink it.
Contact Atlas Institute to have them conduct a thorough search of Chaldea and eliminate any remaining threats.
There is nothing wrong with this World Line, and there will be no problems.
Because this is a completely independent world, not belonging to the branch they were on before.
God created the world in seven days.
That guy also spent seven days tricking himself.
For seven days, that person was nothing like a transcendent being, and had lost his initial detachment. Instead, he was like a devil, constantly negotiating and bargaining with him, and only agreed to help him solve the problem after he had ripped him off.
The direct answer was: It was resolved long ago.
Those seven days of haggling were just for fun. As long as he agreed not to live forever as a human, but to die a normal death and return there to inherit His position, that would be enough.
As for the messy haggling, it was revenge for leaving without saying goodbye and not coming to see Him.
He's just a petty and narrow-minded elder.
And this time, they sent him back without giving him any power or even a divine artifact.
They should at least leave behind a few powerful artifacts or something, right? Are they hoping to die quickly so they can go back to work overtime?
"Pah, what a petty person!"
Rovey lowered his head and continued muttering to himself.
His unvarnished words made George and Jeanne, who had been waiting at the door to hear the oracle, feel ashamed.
Is it really okay to portray that person like this?
However, considering their relationship, both sages decided to temporarily become deaf.
It's not blasphemy as long as they don't hear it.
After arranging things to the near completion, Rovey also spoke with Roman.
He's pretty much done with what he needed to do.
Your world has stabilized.
Because you promised your father, he will not interfere in anything from now on. He will be leaving soon, and your future is up to you.
Although Dr. Roman was reluctant to let them go, he knew that it was inevitable, and that Rovey had already helped them enough.
However, Roman still inquired when Rovey was planning to leave.
Rovey did not hide this from him.
Tiamat's possessed body and the resonance connection to the Seventh Singularity are both complete.
He will perform the summoning tonight.
I should be leaving here tomorrow.
He's been away for too long this time; it's time for him to go back.
Recalling the world he came from, a hint of reminiscence appeared in Rovey's eyes.
We can finally stop.
Chapter 353 The Card Drawing Begins
Thinking about it carefully, quite a few things have happened recently.
The original mastermind, Goetia, was beaten to his knees, reformed himself, and surprisingly became a guardian of Human Order.
The Clock Tower was utterly defeated and became Chaldea's subordinate.
Just as the Crypter were about to cause trouble, they were overwhelmed by a colossal Buddha that appeared out of nowhere. Despite their best efforts, all they got in return was a "good clown show" and they were then tied up and imprisoned in Chaldea. As for the Oprichniki, the Russian Lostbelt, and the Fantasy Tree, they were all wiped out in one fell swoop.
Even the Alien God, who was preparing to personally intervene, was met with a combined attack from Goetia and Rovey upon landing. In the end, he was even directly tied up by Goetia and taken to the Temple of Time, making him arguably the least prestigious boss.
Shortly afterward.
Marisbury Animusphere's plan has been exposed as a shocking revelation.
This event deeply shocked the entire mystical world and Dr. Roman for a whole year. No one expected that they would wake up to find themselves at odds with the universe, and at this very moment, countless aliens and UO creatures from other planets were also rushing towards Earth with knives in hand.
Although the matter was successfully resolved after a series of adjustments and handling, this experience inevitably made Dr. Roman begin to doubt whether he was too trusting of others.
After all, this incident has escalated to such a significant level that it demands serious attention.
Although the situation was eventually resolved satisfactorily, after conveying Rovey's words to the Clock Tower, the Magus who had been busy handling the aftermath and preparing coffins and shelters breathed a sigh of relief and began to assist in checking for any remaining potential hazards.
Although the Magus didn't say anything, Dr. Roman was very clear about it. This was because the impression left by Rovey's recent nuking of the Clock Tower and capture of the Alien God was too deep. In addition, the relationship between him and the Archmagus Marshal, Jewel Magician, was ridiculously good. Even if all the Magus in the world were combined, he would be able to sweep them all away with a single slap.
Otherwise, if something like this happens, everyone in Chaldea, will be brought before the human court. The current Department of Astromancy is the best example of this.
Although Marisbury Animusphere was dead, the other Lord couldn't find him to settle scores with, Chaldea didn't dare to either, so they directly targeted the Department of Astromancy with both old and new grudges. It can be said that everyone related to Marisbury Animusphere was taken to the new prison of the Department of Law for interrogation, and Marisbury Animusphere's legacy and research had to be contained by the Clock Tower.
After this comprehensive service, a thorough review from top to bottom was conducted, effectively removing the Department of Astromancy from the Lord lineage, marking a complete end to it.
This ending inevitably left Dr. Roman somewhat disappointed.
After all, he had spent a long time in the Department of Astromancy and had worked with the two directors of the Department of Astromancy, so there was still some affection between them. However, considering what had happened, he still did not go out to dissuade them.
It's perfectly fair to pay the price for making mistakes.
However, compared to the relief that came with resolving this matter...
Most of the time, it's the busyness generated from investigation and handling.
Tesla Institute, the Wandering Sea, dispatched a large number of Magus and Alchemy to Chaldea to begin investigating Chaldea and assist in dismantling Chaldeas. Now, the entire Chaldea is filled with Magus wearing all sorts of uniforms, so Dr. Roman, as the acting director, must be responsible for directing and mediating them.
